HOW TO TRY TRDOS 386 BY USING QEMU PROGRAM |
|||||||||
2) Click on (and run) trdos386.cmd command file. (Windows XP, 7, 8, 8.1, 10) 3) TRDOS 386 Operating System kernel (TRDOS386.SYS) will be loaded by the boot sector of A: disk (a.img) and internal command interpreter of the kernel (the MainProg) will run at first. (MainProg is a simple/mini command interpreter which has ability to run internal commands and external PRG files, it is a bit similar to MSDOS 'command.com' commands and COM files. But, PRG files are 32 bit protected mode program files and they use 32 bit TRDOS 386 system calls instead of MSDOS kernel function calls in 16 bit x86 real mode.) 4) MainProg will check MAINPROG.CFG file and if the file exists in root directory, then, MainProg will execute all internal or external commands in the file, by row order. 5) After the last command row, MainProg will return to command prompt... 6) User can try other PRG files, just writing file name (with or without .PRG extension). For example (writing SNCOMNI at command prompt): [TRDOS] A:/> SNCOMNI starts SNCOMNI.PRG VGA (3D) demo program (in A: disk).. or writing "tinyply3 b:/thecrab" starts to play "thecrab.mod" music file in the root dir of B: disk (bb.img). (or writing "tmodplay hpnautic" starts to play "hpnautic.mod" module file in the root directory of A: disk.) 7) DIR, CD, DATE, TIME, COPY, SHOW (type), DEL, MKDIR, RMDIR,
ATTRIB, VOLUME, A:, B: (change drive) commands are internal commands and most of them are very
similar to internal commands of COMMAND.COM. TRDOS 386 QEMU demo with 1 GB hard disk image and FAT32 FS (all files): trdos386_qemu_demo_fat32_2024.zip (zip file size: 399MB) TRDOS 386 last demo version: 2.0.9 (If you want to try TRDOS 386 v2 with FAT32 fs, download this zip file and extract it in a directory, for example: 'trdos386' directory. Then, run 'trdos386.cmd' command file by clicking on it. 'TRDFAT32.IMG' is a raw type 1GB hard disk image which contains FAT32 partition, includes WAV music files, wav player, all of kernel and application source code, 16 bit DOS files etc. It is possible to mount raw hard disk images as virtual disk on windows 7,8,10 OS via ImDisk or another disk image mounting program.) |
